3. 3 Add the Cook With M&S chunky Mediterranean-style veg, season with salt and pepper, and continue to cook until slightly softened.
4. 4 Add the balsamic vinegar, stir and let it bubble away, then add the chopped tomatoes and around ¼ can of cooking water from the pasta.
5. 5 Simmer over a medium heat for 10 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Use a little more of the pasta cooking water to loosen the sauce if it looks too dry.
6. 6 When the pasta is cooked, drain it and toss it through the sauce with the fresh parsley, then serve with grated parmesan and black pepper.
